Found out the hacker sold all of his gear which Blizzard helped to restore. Had to re-skill into Feral and shit like that.<br \/>\nAlso, Thorns got nerfed.. badly. It used to last a half an hour (even then it was annoying to keep it active). Now it lasts for 20 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>I did what I planned to do; re-train myself to level as a Druid by going to The Storm Peaks in Northrend. Got good with Cat Form, then decided I was ready for Cata questing.<br \/>\nIt started pretty much the same way it did with my Rogue, but I did my best to ignore it&#8230; until I tried to do the [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/quest=25234\" target=\"_blank\">In the Rear With the Gear<\/a>] quest, that involves two mobs, an ogre and a random mob walking together, with three slaves behind them.<\/p>\n<p>On my Rogue, I simply sapped the ogre and killed the random mob, then looted and vanished. My Druid isn&#8217;t so lucky, especially the fact I&#8217;m not trained for multiple high health mobs, all hitting me at the same time.<br \/>\nI tried using Entangling Roots on the ogre so I could just kill the random mob, but roots can break quicker than it&#8217;s stated on the tooltip, and had for me alot, allowing the ogre to run up to me full speed and attempt to knock me into last week.<\/p>\n<p>I eventually gave up, then flew back to GS in hopes I could ask another Druid to train him to know what to do and when, since mob training isn&#8217;t going to work, since mobs won&#8217;t stop attacking you and say &#8220;ok, good. Now do this&#8221;. I got no such help. So&#8230; for two days, I was on Benie, waiting for Terlarer to get on, in hopes he would give me the advice I need to keep going. But I got sick of waiting for him and decided to &#8216;leave&#8217; the unhelpful Alliance for awhile and join the Horde as my Tauren Hunter, Beefhunter.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to seek revenge on them, though. But anyway, another reason was to make a Goblin Warlock. Since I&#8217;ve seen how the Worgen start, it&#8217;s time to see how the Goblins start. Once my Hunter hits 85, I will make said Goblin.<br \/>\nBut I instantly ran into snags when I logged in as my hunter. One being I didn&#8217;t have enough to get 280% flight speed and the flight master&#8217;s license. But Blizzard also restored something for him; his gold. Gave me enough <em>just<\/em> to afford the license. I also had to &#8230; somehow alot of the skills I had when I was leveling him up were forgotten. My Druid went through this as well.<\/p>\n<p>So with that matter taken care of, I started up leveling to 85 on the Horde side, wondering if it&#8217;s different. From what I&#8217;ve seen, leveling in Mount Hyjal is no different, except this Orc sees Worgen as &#8220;flea-ridden&#8221;.<br \/>\nSaw a few changes in Vashj&#8217;ir. There&#8217;s some new Horde-only quests. But there&#8217;s something that really bugged me. The quest descriptions were exactly like the Alliance side, said by the Horde. And there&#8217;s also ones where it seems the leader of the group I was in when I got on the boat outside of Org, actually had&#8230; feelings!<\/p>\n<p>One example is the Bio Fuel quest, when you get the ingredients. The goblin says about caring about the environment&#8230; since when do the Horde care about the environment?! They just didn&#8217;t seem like the war-thirsty savages that I always saw the Horde being.<\/p>\n<p>But it does start turning back into what the Horde should be, seeing one telling me &#8220;if I must die, I want our greatest enemies to go with us!&#8221; During the final battle, the guy (leader of the group again) treated the shaman like shit. And after the Shaman was captured, the guy said something like &#8220;follow me if you got the balls&#8221;. Completely different from the dramatic Alliance version of: &#8220;Do what you will.. I&#8217;m going after him!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there&#8217;s two other things I want to mention; both about addons I use.<br \/>\nFirst one is Pawn. I use it to tell me to upgrade my gear. But now I feel it&#8217;s giving me the wrong information. Everytime it tells me to upgrade and it&#8217;s a BM item, there&#8217;s always less Haste with it. Hunters need haste! Haste helps to attack faster.<br \/>\nSecond thing, not as serious. Atlas. How come it&#8217;s not showing Cata dungeons? The only one I see is The Stonecore in Deepholm. But it does show the classic raid dungeons that were re-added in 4.1. ZG and AQ20\/AQ40.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s also Zul&#8217;Aman. I have no idea where that is, but it&#8217;s a raid dungeon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First off, I brought my Druid &#8220;back from the grave&#8221; about four days ago.
